That’s a shocking news. It sends wave of disbelief among tech enthusiast, especially among the sub-group of Android people. Some history about this Xperia X10. It was released back in mid of 2010. Locally, it was selling at RM2,999 when launched. It comes with Android 1.6 Donut and a 4inch LCD screen without multitouch support. These are the main reasons it couldn’t sell well. Thats why just after roughly 9months, you are seeing this Xperia X10 selling at RM1,400. Dropping 50% of price in just 9months is horrendous for gadgets.

Anyway, Sony Ericsson has announced previously that their SE Xperia X10 won’t get any update beyond Android 2.1 Eclair. And they just contradicted themselves by announcing today in their blog that they gonna roll up firmware update a.k.a Android 2.3 operating system, and thats a good contradiction. Before you the Xperia X10 user jump into joy, they also said that it won’t be an all out firmware update, meaning some region of users won’t be getting this update.

So when will you be getting this update? Expect Sony Ericsson to roll up by late Q2 or early Q3 this year. But this won’t be an Over The Air(OTA) update. You’ll have to flash this new Android version 2.3 firmware using your computer and everything from your X10 will be wiped off. Sounds like the need for Titanium Backup
